SUMMARY:Helen Heavirland to speak at the Community Lecture Series of the Tri-Cities
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Franklin County Historical Society\, Helen Heavirland\, author of Surviving the Sand will be the featured presenter at the next Community Lecture Series of the Tri-Cities. The event will be held on March 21\, at 7:00 p.m.\, at 305 N. 4th Ave.\, Pasco\, WA. \nHelen Lingscheit Heavirland spent her early years in western Oregon’s beautiful woods\, where her father Wayne Lingscheit’s work as a logger provided a comfortable home. But Wayne dreamed of farming\, and Columbia Basin Project irrigation opened a new opportunity. In 1954 he and his wife Gladys moved their family—seven-year-old Helen\, baby Hazel\, thirteen-year-old Frank\, and sixteen-year-old Emma—to raw land in Pasco\, Washington\, that was mostly bunchgrass and sagebrush. The only structures were a roofless outhouse\, an eight-foot by sixteen-foot wooden shack\, and a pen for sheep and goats. \nIn Surviving the Sand\, Helen shares her family’s hardscrabble yet heartwarming story\, chronicling common hardships many faced in the Columbia Basin Project’s early settlement days. She describes breaking sod\, plants destroyed by wind-whipped sand\, and a harrowing first winter sleeping outside after a storm shredded their tent\, but also simple joys like fresh apricots\, Crokinole games\, and letters from loved ones. \nThe Community Lecture Series of the Tri-Cities is sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Division at Columbia Basin College\, Battelle\, Friends of the Richland Public Library\, the East Benton County Historical Museum\, the Franklin County Historical Museum\, and the Mid-Columbia Libraries.  Presenters are Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau Program participants\, local experts\, and scientific scholars through PNNL.

SUMMARY:Coyote's Swing author David Walker at ISEPP
DESCRIPTION:Coyote’s Swing author David Walker is a keynote speaker for the International Society for Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry (ISEPP) 25th annual conference\, October 27-29\, 2023 to be held in Marina del Rey\, California. \nUsing a traditional Yakama tale as a motif\, Coyote’s Swing combines the author’s firsthand experiences as a consulting psychologist with rare history and sociocultural critique\, revealing how the U.S. mental health system reframes Native American reactions to oppression and marginalization into “mental disorders” and “mental illness\,” and how the Indian Health Service’s contemporary practices echo historical injustices. \n

SUMMARY:Candace Wellman at Island County Museum and the Coupeville Library
DESCRIPTION:Candace Wellman will be at the Coupeville Public Library in an event sponsored by the library and Island County Museum to talk about Washington Territorial Justice Edmund C. Fitzhugh. \nAppointed to Washington Territory’s District and Supreme Courts in 1857 despite being under indictment for murder and only marginally qualified for the position\, Fitzhugh’s biography offers unique insights into the people\, personalities\, politics\, and practices of the territory and the 19th century American West. Wellman spent more than two decades researching Fitzhugh’s life and contributions—both good and bad—to Pacific Northwest history. Although the court system played a large part in the region’s future\, Man of Treacherous Charm is the first full biography of an early Washington Territory justice. Her previous book\, Peace Weavers\, won the 2018 WILLA literary award for scholarly nonfiction from Women Writing the West\, and her Interwoven Lives was a 2020 finalist. This is her third title with WSU Press. \n“Wellman combines a vast fund of research with the verve of a storyteller in this revealing glimpse into the racism\, political patronage\, corruption and Southern sympathies that bred success for a time in antebellum Washington Territory—all embodied in one man\, Edmund Fitzhugh.”—Mike Vouri\, former National Park Service historian and tour guide\, and author\, The Pig War \n“Perhaps the single most enlightening takeaway for me was the stark contrast between the legal landscape of Fitzhugh’s time and that of my own. No current judge would even consider hearing\, on appeal\, a case over which they had presided as the trial judge…an entertaining and educational read.”—Chuck Snyder\, Whatcom County Superior Court Judge\, retired \n

SUMMARY:Author Candace Wellman to share story of early Washington Territory Supreme Court Justice at Village Books in Lynden
DESCRIPTION:Appointed to Washington Territory’s District and Supreme Courts in 1857 despite being under indictment for murder and only marginally qualified for the position\, Edmund C. Fitzhugh’s biography offers unique insights into the people\, personalities\, politics\, and practices of the territory and the 19th century American West. \nAuthor Candace Wellman spent more than two decades researching Fitzhugh’s life and contributions—both good and bad—to Pacific Northwest history. Although the court system played a large part in the region’s future\, Man of Treacherous Charm is the first full biography of an early Washington Territory justice. The volume offers unique insights into the people\, personalities\, politics\, and practices of the territory and the American West in the 19th century. Her previous book\, Peace Weavers\, won the 2018 WILLA literary award for scholarly nonfiction from Women Writing the West\, and her Interwoven Lives was a 2020 finalist. This is her third title with WSU Press. \n“Wellman combines a vast fund of research with the verve of a storyteller in this revealing glimpse into the racism\, political patronage\, corruption and Southern sympathies that bred success for a time in antebellum Washington Territory—all embodied in one man\, Edmund Fitzhugh.”—Mike Vouri\, former National Park Service historian and tour guide\, and author\, The Pig War \n“Perhaps the single most enlightening takeaway for me was the stark contrast between the legal landscape of Fitzhugh’s time and that of my own. No current judge would even consider hearing\, on appeal\, a case over which they had presided as the trial judge…an entertaining and educational read.”—Chuck Snyder\, Whatcom County Superior Court Judge\, retired

SUMMARY:Candace Wellman at the Whatcom County Historical Society local history program
DESCRIPTION:Join the Whatcom County Historical Society for a local history program in the Rotunda Room of Old City Hall. $5 suggested donation/members free. \nLocal historian Candy Wellman will share the fascinating story of Edmund Clare Fitzhugh\, head of the Sehome coal mine and company store\, which for a time in the mid-1800s\, was the Northwest’s largest labor employer. Her book on Edmund C. Fitzhugh\, Man of Treacherous Charm\, will be released in April. \nIn 1857\, while the coal mine’s manager\, Fitzhugh killed a drunken trespasser in his garden. Though Fitzhugh was under indictment for murder and only marginally qualified for the position\, U.S. president James Buchanan made the stunning decision to appoint him to Washington Territory’s District and Supreme Courts. \nThe blue blood Virginian lawyer migrated to the California gold rush in 1849. After Fitzhugh’s San Francisco law partner and others invested in a new Bellingham Bay coal mine\, he moved north to open it. During the next ten years—including a few as Democratic Party chairman—he built and exploited his political network. In addition to serving on the federal bench and managing the militarily strategic mine\, he was a county auditor\, became Governor Isaac Stevens’ Treaty War military aide and Indian agent\, and helped Stevens run the 1860 Breckinridge for President national campaign. During the Civil War he returned home and was Confederate General Eppa Hunton’s staff officer. After the war\, he practiced law in a small Iowa town. Fitzhugh devastated the lives of four wives and six children\, and eventually died alone in the fleabag remnant of a once-prestigious San Francisco hotel. \nWellman spent more than two decades researching Fitzhugh’s life and contributions—both good and bad—to Pacific Northwest history. Although the court system played a large part in the region’s future\, Man of Treacherous Charm is the first full biography of an early Washington Territory justice. The volume offers unique insights into the people\, personalities\, politics\, and practices of the territory and the American West in the 19th century. \nRead Dean Kahn’s interview with Candace Wellman in the Salish Current

SUMMARY:Global Nomad author Tom Haig at PEAK Sports
DESCRIPTION:Former world-class high diver and 2-time winner of the Portland marathon’s hand cycle division\, Tom Haig\, will celebrate the release of his new book\, “Global Nomad: My Travels Through Diving\, Tragedy\, and Rebirth\,” on March 18\, 2023\, at PEAK Sports\, 207 NW 2nd Street in Corvallis\, Oregon\, starting at 6:30 p.m. \nIn 1996\, Haig crashed headfirst into a truck and suddenly found himself living a very different life from a wheelchair. His recovery—mentally\, physically\, and emotionally—was excruciating. “I’d been in car accidents\, fallen from water towers\, and landed flat on my back from 70-foot multiple somersaulting dives. No crying. I used to swear\, jump up and down\, and tell jokes. Anything but cry. I was going to have to learn how to cry again\, or I wasn’t going to survive. Then again\, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to survive.” \nAn athlete and storyteller to the core\, Haig reveals the most difficult aspects of his transition to a wheelchair\, the relationships that mattered and why\, and how his approach to life and his identity both changed and remained the same. He also shares about pushing limits\, moving past boundaries\, the risks and joys of traveling solo\, and his international charitable work. \nSince his spinal cord injury\, Haig has won marathons\, traveled solo in countries around the world\, met the Dalai Lama\, jammed with jazz great Oscar Klein\, and started the charitable nonprofit International Rehabilitation Forum with his physician brother\, Andy. \nWatch a CBS news feature on Tom!

SUMMARY:Helen Heavirland at Pendleton Center for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:Meet Helen Lingscheit Heavirland\, as she reads from her new book\, Surviving the Sand\, about farming with her family during the Columbia Basin Project’s early years. Like many others\, the Lingscheit’s lives are full of arduous work and incredibly tough times\, but also love and laughter. \nGrowing up\, Helen Lingscheit Heavirland listened—utterly captivated—as her father read stories aloud. The characters his expressive voice brought to life transported her to imagined adventures and helped motivate her to overcome her shyness and dream big. She earned a B. S. in Nursing from Walla Walla University and provided wellness checks\, critical care\, and everything in between for patients young and old\, eventually serving as a director of nursing. Heavirland also worked with her husband in his business\, and travelled internationally to help build new schools and assist with free medical clinics. Through it all\, she learned to face life with optimism. In her spare time she enjoys hiking\, biking\, birding\, and skiing\, and is apt to discover a life lesson hidden in almost every situation—whether she’s weeding her own garden or flying over Victoria Falls in an ultralight. \nThe First Draft Writers’ Series brings authors and poets of note to the Pendleton stage to share new work. On the third Thursday of each month people who love the written word gather at the PCA’s Pearson Auditorium to hear featured authors as well as 3-5 minute open mic readings by local emerging writers. The program will also be available to attendees over Zoom. Contact the Pendleton Center for the Arts for details. \nThis program is made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH)\, a statement nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, which funds OH’s grant program.

SUMMARY:Michele Corriel at The History Museum in Great Falls
DESCRIPTION:The Cascade County Historical Society welcomes the author of a new book\, Montana Modernists: Shifting Perspectives on Western Art\, Dr. Michele Corriel\, who will give a presentation on twentieth-century postwar Montana art. Examining the emergence of an avant-garde movement in the state\, Dr. Corriel profiles the pioneers of this movement: Jessie Wilber\, Frances Senska\, Bill Stockton\, Isabelle Johnson\, Robert DeWeese\, and Gennie DeWeese. Together\, these artists implemented an aesthetic philosophy and a modern understanding of form\, color\, and abstraction that expanded the way Western art in Montana is defined. Corriel explores these first-generation modernists through the themes of Place\, Artistic Lineage\, and Community—all crucial elements in their lives and work. As the nascent movement grew and took hold across the state\, it not only affected the making of art\, but offered Montanans new ways of viewing themselves\, society\, and nature\, and a way of seeing that had lasting effects on the struggle for a broader\, more authentic Montana narrative. Books are available at the Museum Gift Shop\, giftshop@greatfallshistorymuseum.org  \nRead the Billings Gazette article about the Montana Modernist exhibit at the Yellowstone Art Gallery.

SUMMARY:Trevor Bond at the Whitman County Historical Society Pullman Depot's Freight Room
DESCRIPTION:The Story of the Wetxuuwíitin’ (formerly Spalding-Allen) Collection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Pullman Depot Heritage Center’s next BookTalk will feature Trevor Bond\, Pullman\, speaking about his new book\, Coming Home to Nez Perce Country. His talk will take place in the Freight Room at the Depot on Thursday\, February 23\, at 7:00 PM. Masks are encouraged but not required. Find the post on the WCHS FaceBook page to reserve your spot. \nIn 1847\, Presbyterian missionary Henry Spalding acquired handmade Nez Perce artifacts and sent them from north-central Idaho to his friend and supporter\, Dudley Allen\, in Ohio in exchange for commodities. This was the fate of many early Native American materials\, to be appropriated by non-Natives and removed from the hands and lands that created them. The shirts\, dresses\, baskets\, horse regalia\, and more—called the Wetxuuwíitin’ (formerly Spalding-Allen) Collection—would not return to their rightful home until they were purchased by the tribe from the Ohio Historical Society in 1996 for $608\,100. On November 23rd\, 2021\, the Ohio History Connection (formerly the Ohio Historical Society) returned $608\,100 to the Nez Perce Tribe. The reclamation of these Nez Perce artifacts is the subject of Bond’s book\, selected as a 2022 Washington State Book Award finalist. \nBond’s talk will consider the story of the Wetxuuwíitin’ Collection and the fate of other Nez Perce items held in museums and private collections. \n \nTrevor James Bond graduated from San Diego State University with a B.A. degree in Classics (emphasis in Latin and Greek) and a minor in Art History. He received his Master’s in Library and Information Science with a specialization in Archives and Preservation Management and a Masters in Ancient History at UCLA. In 2017\, he completed a Ph.D. in Public History at Washington State University. He is currently an Associate Dean in the Libraries and the Director of WSU’s Center for Arts and Humanities. He also serves as the co-Director of the Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation. In addition to his library work and research\, Trevor plays tennis\, skateboards\, and cooks with a special fondness for French sauces and fermented bread. \n
